Organocatalytic Sequential Michael Reactions: Stereoselective Synthesis of Multifunctionalized Tetrahydroindan Derivatives
摘要:
Multifunctionalized tetrahydroindan derivatives with four stereocenters were constructed via two sequential Michael reactions between cyclic gamma,delta-unsaturated-beta-ketoester and nitroalkenes initiated with 0.5-2 mol % of cinchona alkaloid based bifunctional organocatalysts and then with 1 equiv of tetramethylguanidine for cyclization. The desired products could be obtained in high yields (up to 99% yield) with excellent enantioselectivities (95-99% ee) as well as diastereoselectivities (up to >99:1 dr) even on a gram scale.
Bifunctional Guanidine via an Amino Amide Skeleton for Asymmetric Michael Reactions of β-Ketoesters with Nitroolefins: A Concise Synthesis of Bicyclic β-Amino Acids
Two activations are better than one: The chiralbifunctional guanidine 1, which features an amino amide backbone, catalyzes the asymmetric Michael addition of a range of substrates and gives products with excellent stereoselectivities. The method also allows the efficient synthesis of optically pure β‐amino acidesters. Both the guanidine group and the NH proton of the amide were important for the
